I sure as hell wouldn't mind winning a nice jackpot. But this is way too much money, more than I'd ever know what to do with. i'd be happy with 200,000 or maybe even 1 million. I'd be happy to win 100 lol

Why California? I'm just curious. Earth is a big place.

I'm a big sucker for psychedelia. Colorado is too fucking cold and Washington too wet. More important, it is as far as you can get from Indiana while being in America and not on an Island or with a soccer mom. Yeah you got shitty earthquakes, but with this much money if you survive you can rebuild, or build my house right the first time around

I dunno what I'd do if I won this. Every part of me would want to move to Costa Rica but my wife is literally attached at the umbilical cord to her family.

If I won I'd why every member a copy of Bad Rats.

[QUOTE=mini me;49478592]Fuck you and fuck your lottery america ..not like i dream of this shit or anything.. *tearfully sings god save the queen with a mouthful of bangers and mash*[/QUOTE] I'd be content with the 10mil€ eurojackpot has right now.

[QUOTE=OvB;49481304]If I won I'd why every member a copy of Bad Rats.[/QUOTE] If I won the next one i'd fill your inventory with so many mann crates and then bad rats.

[QUOTE=elitehakor;49477434]have a lawyer claim it for you don't tell anyone you've won the jackpot hire a financial advisor and an accountant[/QUOTE] You forgot the most important part: Stuff your pockets and get to the nearest swiss bank, then live out your life as a romanian god for the rest of your life.

Friendly neighborhood overnight convenience store worker here (at work currently actually). I haven't seen this many powerball tickets sold ever, two days ago we had a little over 1200 customers come in before the drawing to grab tickets. Was absolutely fucking insane, and then -no one- won it. Some guy the next town over got 100k which was neat tho

if you buy lottery tickets, you need to take a figgin' statistics class for fuck sake

Imagine how many copies of Hatoful Boyfriend you could buy with $300 Mill

holy crap $675 mil? omg i'd be moving to canada, putting half of it in gold, 1/4 in investments and the rest to splurge / save as spending money. Didn't they say that if sales value of lottery tickets hit $1 billion, that the jackpot would then also be $1 billion?

[QUOTE=StrawberryClock;49483154]if you buy lottery tickets, you need to take a figgin' statistics class for fuck sake[/QUOTE] if you buy one just for fun it's not that bad but if you buy 10 or more, you really need help

[QUOTE=StrawberryClock;49483154]if you buy lottery tickets, you need to take a figgin' statistics class for fuck sake[/QUOTE] Haha this If you analyse past draws in lotteries you'll notice that the frequency of numbers drawn, ordered sequentially, resembles something like a single frequency sine wave. Eg in one I looked at, I think something like numbers in the 30-40 range were most frequently drawn. Interestingly, that lottery in particular (when you participate online) has a function to randomly select numbers for you. It's interesting because the 'randomly selected' numbers do not align with that sine wave, or in other words, it would choose numbers that were likely to not be drawn. So yes, if you were ever serious about the lottery then you gotta know your statistics.

Welp, time to spend all of my money possible on lottery tickets and get nothing.

I hope a well armed immigrant with a pit-bull wins it.

Its gambling. You can preach all you want about how it's stupid to do, but people enjoy testing their luck and there's a substantially larger group of people than you think that take home good cash.

[QUOTE=Code3Response;49479069]You do know that they have to publically announce who the winner is, right. You cant hide from that.[/QUOTE] Only some states require identities be revealed, others will allow a John/Jane Doe.

I work my second job at a convenience store and goddamn we sell alot of these tickets. I read somewhere that you're more likely to be elected president twice than to win the Powerball. Not sure how legitimate that is but it seems about right. I've been working there for 7-8 years and have never sold a winning jackpot to anybody. Hell in the entire town there's only been one guy to ever hit a jackpot and it was for the Illinois lottery. That's just state wide so nationwide lotteries like the mega and Powerball are insanely hard to hit.

Does anyone really win? I bet it all goes to foreign aid.

[QUOTE=karlosfandango;49484602]Does anyone really win? I bet it all goes to foreign aid.[/QUOTE] Yeah but usually the pot is split between a few people.

[QUOTE=karlosfandango;49484602]Does anyone really win? I bet it all goes to foreign aid.[/QUOTE] I managed win EuroJackpot lottery 2 years ago.The winning pot reached 90 million euros and i guessed 4 main numbers and 1 additional number. It requires to guess all 5 numbres and 2 numbers to get whole pot, if one of those numbers were correct, i could minimal get around 7 million euro (with taxes). Ammount of money i earned are 238 euro with couple cents.

Like god damn does anyone even care about long term finances? I was educating myself on this stuff before I was in high school.

did a powerball pact between 4 of my co-workers. we got 100 tickets

Up to $800 million today.

I'd probably stuff it all safe places and then keep eating takeaways and drinking magners

I'd quit my job, invest in something and just travel for the rest of my life.

What would be the cost of buying every combination possible? Lol
